Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and CRTH2
T cell surface marker, CRTH2, is a target for treating Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, a hemodynamic abnormality. Targeting CRTH2 permits control of disease symptoms in POTS, for which no FDA approved treatment is currently available. Cell surface expression on certain T cell subsets characterizes the syndrome. Cell surface expression can be conveniently determined in plasma samples using flow cytometry.
